Emily
Stan Webb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has the murmuring sound of may
All silver bells, coral shells, carousels
And the laughter of children at play
Say Emily, Emily, Emily
And we fade to a marvelous view
Two lovers alone and out of sight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see Emily, Emily
(and we fade to a marvelous view)
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see Emily, Emily
Too
The song "Emily" by Stan Webb is a soulful and poetic tribute to a person called Emily, who is remembered through the sensory experiences of silver bells, coral shells, carousels, and children at play. The repetition of her name in the first two lines creates a mournful and nostalgic tone, as if the singer is trying to grasp onto a fleeting memory or moment.
As the song progresses, the singer describes a moment where they "fade to a marvelous view" upon saying Emily's name again. This could either represent a momentary escape from reality or a metaphor for death - either way, the imagery of "two lovers alone and out of sight" and "images in the firelight" evokes a sense of warmth and intimacy. It is as if the singer is imagining a future with Emily, one where they start a family together.
In the final repetition of Emily's name, the word "Too" is added, creating a melancholic and mournful ending. Perhaps this represents the singer's realization that this future with Emily will never come to pass, or that Emily is no longer with them.
Overall, the song "Emily" is a bittersweet tribute to a person who holds a special and unforgettable place in the singer's heart.
